About Click Tracks

[JimJones]

Hey guys, I've heard several times that one can programme clicktracks for changes in tempo, time signature, etc. - could anyone please explain me how to do this?

I only know how set up a click track with a fixed tempo

Thanks in advance

What DAW are you using?

Ok, right now I have nothing installed, because I just got my computer a few days ago. I am planning to install Cubase LE, which will come free with the Presonus Firestudio Project I'm buying. Can I program changing click tracks in Cubase? Or should I get another DAW?

I thought maybe it could be done with a specialized program, but seeing that I need to have a DAW installed, I'll repost when I install it.

Thanks anyway, and sorry to bother you guys.

I'm sure there are better, more savvy ways of doin it but...
The way I've done it is a bit of a pain but I recorded the main click on 1 track, recorded the tempo click to another then comped em to a third track synced up the way I wanted it and erased the first two.
Like I say, pain in the ass but not that difficult.

oh...
and no bother at all dude.

If they let me hang around here, it's ALL good for you.

Most software it's as easy as a right click and insert tempo change. Check out reaper for recording software. It's cheap and flexible. A lot of people (including me) around here swear by it.

I know my basic Cakewalk stuff does it, too, so I imagine that more feature-laden DAWs will allow you to drag and highlight to insert a gradual tempo change. You just set the beginning and ending tempo and the computer will gradually slow it down or speed it up.
